What if Mike is so mad at Steve because he was his bisexual awakening? He saw him dating Nancy, walking around in those too-tight shorts and thought, ‘oh damn, that’s one thing I didn’t need in common with my sister’. Anytime he sees him around the house, he just thinks he’s the biggest asshole because prior to him being around, Mike only liked girls!

Then they broke up so Mike didn’t have to see him around too much and he could focus on El instead of pining after Steve. But nope, Dustin becomes best friends with the guy and he’s suddenly around all the time. 

Finally, Mike gets a crush on his new DM and thinks he can get over his hopeless crush on Steve. He goes on a really shitty vacation and when he comes back, Eddie and Steve are both in the hospital and they’re mooning over one another, cuddling in the same hospital bed.

And poor Mike is just thinking he can’t escape this guy. First he dates his sister, adopts him and his friends, and now he’s dating the guy Mike idolizes? What the fuck?

(His hate doesn’t lessen when he finds out that Steve told Will not to date a Wheeler either.)

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!

an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.

“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids

something charmingly twentieth century about this

Nancy Wheeler has the intensely queer energy of a female character whose male showrunners really do believe her to be a heterosexual woman but, if asked to explain what that actually means for her, they would spend the next five minutes awkwardly and unintentionally describing asexuality because they can't actually conceptualize female desire.

Steve can do the cherry stem trick, because of course he can. Of course he can

He spent a stupid amount of time when he was younger trying to learn how to do it; ate a ridiculous number of cherries and just sort of started sticking them stem and all into his mouth, eating the cherry, and then working on the stem. He has 100% forgotten it’s not just a thing people do, so now that’s just kind of how he eats them - puts the whole thing in his mouth, eats the cherry, and ties a knot in the stem the same way someone might fiddle with a twist tie

The first time Eddie sees him do this, he sees Steve stick the fruit in his mouth without removing the stem and just start chewing and it’s like

Eddie: Did you just eat the… Steve, absently pulling a knotted cherry stem out of his mouth: Sorry, what? Eddie: Eddie: How are you even a real person

He spends the next three to five business days trying to get the thought out of his head. He’s absolutely disgusted with himself; it’s such a stereotypical flirting trick, it’s such a move, but for some reason it’s fucking working on him

(Robin has lowkey been waiting for Eddie to find out about this. She saw Steve do it multiple times with the maraschino cherries when they worked at Scoops and thought he was flirting with her at first before she realized he just… Does That. Like a weirdo.)

Warning: Sad Headcanon

What if Steve can't leave Hawkins because he's dead? He doesn't know it, and neither does anyone else. He died when his father pushed him down the stairs and then buried his body underneath the house. They left town, but Steve thinks they abandoned him. Steve thinks he sees the ghost of Barbara because he feels guilty, but the truth is that he is dead. He can still interact with the living because he doesn't want to let go. Eddie can sense the presence of ghosts, and he felt it around Steve. He didn't know how to tell him. When Eddie died, Steve could see him, too. He asked him why that was. Eddie would kneel in front of him and take his hand.

"Oh, Steve, do you really not know?"

The hardest after that was not accepting the fact that he was dead. It was letting go of the living.

I see a lot of post on here about Steve dabbling into Eddie’s hobbies and picking up his taste in music. Which is all great. Excellent. Super awesome I love it. But where is the Eddie getting into Steve’s interests? I want Eddie and Steve at a Super Bowl party and Eddie is so into it and Steve is so smitten with him. It starts out as Steve convincing him to watch sports because “eddie you clearly like to ogle jocks” and eventually he’s all about it.

And I want Steve expanding Eddie’s taste in music because “if you only enjoy one genre of something eddie, then you have bad taste in that something.” And Eddie is obviously throughly offended that anyone could ever dare to even think to allude to him having bad taste in music that he makes it his mission to learn all Steve’s faves and that’s how they end up at a Willie Nelson concert and eddie is decked out in black fringe and black studded cowboy hat, wearing a bolo tie and he’s loudly and proudly singing along to every song and Steve is just absolutely swooning.

I JUST THINK IT WOULD BE NEAT IS ALL IM SAYING

Fitzsimmons - summer in Greece 💙

[writingdino]

The summer I worked in cape cod of all places we would go to the army surplus for our techie pants. Sturdy, deep black, lots of pockets. Theatre kids flooded that shit and came out with bags full of canvas belts in a rainbow of colors, and the most elaborate pants. And yes, lighters and pocket knives that we then put in the various hidden compartments of said pants.

This is a long winded way of saying that I never not once questioned why Eddie had been to war zone there are in fact a million good reasons why and those are his secrets to keep within his giant hair. ❤️

blows my mind when i see people talking ab the war zone like "why would eddie know about this place..... why would vickie be shopping there..... what does this say about their characters......." have y'all fr never been to an army surplus store. you don't have to call someone a slur to get in you don't have to have your concealed carry permit to fuckin cross the threshold it's a STORE. it is literally just a store. god forbid people buy a pair of boots fuckin hell
